It was Sweeney who had the rookie strikeout to end the game Thursday. And now we have stranded two in scoring position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Worth noting that this is only Boyd's 10th start of the year, in previous years he was a pretty good pitcher for his first 10 or so starts of the season before turning into a pumpkin or getting injured.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Pathetic at bat by Sweeney. He gets a slider right down the middle and DOESN'T swing and then gets one low and off the plate and swings at a garbage pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 LOL - If Boyd had ever shown anything like 95 before he's still be a Tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Guys like Tork and Sweeney are what holds this team back. They're effectively automatic outs and you're trying to score despite them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would pain me to have to egg their home if their son comes in and shuts down the Tigers. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And assigning errors have become such a subjective exercise that it's fair to wonder how much in-game and -team politics influences the decision. do any advanced fielding metrics even use scorer's errors anymore?

From a defensive and offensive perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 This will be the Tigers fifth time seeing Smith in as many games. They finally got to him a little in game four, hope it's a sign of things to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can’t give that, then move on and sign a 1B who can do that. Not that difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Another bad play by Sweeney on the throw, but Tork got a hold of it to make the out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 I’m certainly not rooting for him, but I have to acknowledge that I do think “Big Christmas” is a good nickname. Now score some runs, Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
